Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Draws the attention of Member States and the Commission to the fact that after 2020, even though there will be fewer and fewer people of working age, there will be ever greater competition for jobs, while the private sector will provide fewer and fewer jobs for those who are currently relatively low-skilled, which will require a new approach and not only long-term strategies but also short-term measures,; calls on the Commission, in order to prevent permanent unemployment and a lasting increase in it, to measure the accessibility of private-sector jobs for particularly low- skilled workers, and what new jobs which do not require any qualifications could be created in the short term after 2020;

2a. Draws the Commission’s attention to the fact that, even in certain of the most affluent Member States (e.g. Denmark or Luxembourg), long-term unemployment is increasing alarmingly (in the European Union, nearly 12 million people are classified as long-term unemployed, which is 5% of the workforce, and 59% of them have gone for two years without finding work), and at the same time calls on the Commission, in cooperation with Member States, to seek practical, bridging employment solutions for particularly low-skilled and unskilled workers and/or to help them find work again;

3a. Draws the Commission’s attention to the fact that greater efforts are needed to ensure that the positive impact of technological innovations on the labour market genuinely makes itself felt and at the same time that more support needs to be provided to the Member States to prepare their education and training systems for making future relatively disadvantaged workers more able to acquire more complex, flexible and competitive knowledge in order to raise the employment level;

Amendment 52 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on Member StatesDraws the attention of the Commission and the Member States to the fact that, while budgeting prudently and ensuring macroeconomic balance, tohey should provide more funding and to take effective, focused measures to ensure that disparities in development within geographical regions are not passed on in the form of social inequalities and inequalities of opportunity which already manifest themselves at the free primary and secondary education levels; nor should this be allowed to happen at later stages either, and therefore, on the basis of social and economic indicators, it is necessary to designate the areas (small localities, parts of settlements) where economic, social and other disadvantages are concentrated and, in the course of developments pursued with the aid of European Union funding, greater attention should be devoted to helping these areas to catch up.

Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Draws the Commission’s attention to the growing geographical and regional disparities, the worsening of demographic problems in Central and Eastern European countries and the situation of the growing numbers of young people who have left the new Member States since 2004, particularly as a function of the fact that overall, in the 2014-2020 budgetary cycle, less funding is available for cohesion policy support for poorer Member States;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 b (new)
Paragraph 4 b (new)
4b. Draws the Member States’ attention to the fact that, according to the Commission’s assessment of trends in European migration, the scale of migration accounted for by the free movement of labour is merely a fraction of that in the USA or Japan, while at the same time calling on the Commission, in ensuring the free movement of labour and in relation to the issue of legal and illegal immigration from outside Europe, to take into account the local and regional distribution of people already in Europe who are low-skilled or unskilled;
Amendment 65 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 c (new)
Paragraph 4 c (new)
4c. Calls on the Commission to monitor and assess the feasibility of implementation of the regulations concerning the European Union funds, because the aspect of Roma people’s living conditions which requires the most urgent solution – improving the situation of people living at segregated locations in poor conditions – can only be tackled in a complex manner (with an integrated approach), and therefore the implementation of such programmes requires measures of both the ESF (human) and ERDF (infrastructure) type;
